Investigative Solutions Network Inc. (ISN) is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of Investigative Research Group Inc. (“IRG”). The acquisition is not only about assets and clients, but also about acquiring an experienced management team, administrative support, a sales team, and a significant number of skilled investigators. This has allowed ISN to effectively double in size, which is in keeping with the long-term business plan of strategic growth through acquisitions and organic business development.

For the past 24 years, IRG has been a well-established and successful private investigation firm with a significant client base. ISN and IRG complement each other from a strategic business perspective. As the transition moves forward, IRG will be operating under the ISN brand, folding the two companies into one powerful entity.

As a result of the acquisition, ISN has added depth to every aspect of the business. With a powerful, executive team, expanded corporate footprint, and over 120 experienced investigators, ISN is poised to become the industry leader.
